After multiple delays spanning years rather than months, Marriott is now just a few months away from introducing its luxury St. Regis brand to the UK with the opening of The St. Regis London this fall.
The property is currently undergoing the final stages of a comprehensive transformation and we have finally been given a month in which we can expect the St. Regis London to open.
Location & opening
The St. Regis London occupies a prominent position in the heart of London at the intersection of Bond Street and Conduit Street towards the eastern edge of the city’s Mayfair district.
This puts it on the doorstep of some of London’s most expensive stores as well as within easy reach of a lot of the city’s major sights.
Before its current redevelopment, the building that the St. Regis London now occupies was the location of the Westbury Mayfair Hotel which closed its doors during the global pandemic.
The initial management agreement for the St. Regis London was announced back in February 2022 and while initial project estimates set the opening for 2024, that was quickly pushed back to 2025 and then “spring 2026”.
Well, spring 2026 has come and gone and the doors to the St. Regis remain firmly closed, but the Marriott website has now been updated to show that hope is on the horizon with the property finally expected to open in October (although bookings are currently only being taken from 1 December onwards and Reward Nights haven’t been loaded at all).
Bookings have not yet opened so we can’t see what prices will start at, but we can probably expect to see some movement on that front within the next couple of months.
Rooms and suites
The hotel is set to open with 193 guest rooms of which 66 will be suites.
The interior spaces have been designed by Richmond International which has noted that the interior visual concept draws direct inspiration from the unique characteristics of the Mayfair neighborhood, referencing elements from the bespoke tailoring of Savile Row, the styling of nearby fashion boutiques, and the legacy of the famous auction rooms in the local area.
Among the specific luxury accommodations, the property features a top-tier Penthouse Suite. This specific suite includes a 150-square-meter private terrace and offers 360-degree panoramic views extending across the London skyline.
The hotel will also feature two exclusive wellness suites that will be distinct from the standard rooms and which will, apparently, feature private plunge pools and saunas.
Restaurant and bar
The new St Regis will have only one restaurant – Le Perroquet, an all-day French brasserie managed by Chef Daniel Rose.
This will mark the chef’s first venture in London following his prior career milestones at La Bourse et La Vie in Paris and the Michelin-starred Le Coucou in New York City.
We’re told that Le Perroquet has been designed to be “warm, lively and inviting” and that it’s not meant “solely for occasion dining, but as a place people come back to – for a quick meal, a long lunch, or an unplanned evening“.
Previous news suggested that the St Regis was also developing a separate signature restaurant to overseen by Robert Aikens, the hotel’s executive head chef, but we’re now told (by the PR agency who represent the F&B offering at the St. Regis London) that the property will have just one restaurant – Le Perroquet.
For beverage options, the hotel is preserving the building’s historic Polo Bar (which promises to serve a “local interpretation” of the traditional St. Regis Bloody Mary) as well as a Library Lounge.
A previously muted “late night jazz bar” appears not be going ahead.
Bottom line
The transition of the former Westbury Mayfair into The St. Regis London is entering its final months with the renovated property expected to open in October 2026.
With a central London location, 193 rooms (including 66 suites), dining options from Chef Daniel Rose and Robert Aikens, and a very, very expensive renovation, the St. Regis London will represent a very welcome and much needed addition to Marriott’s luxury options in the UK.
